The man drugged ex-wife before taking her to his friend.

He got a fake nikahnama to show she and his friend were married.

He gave his wife triple talaq 8 months ago.

A 42-year-old mother-of-two from Jaipur filed a rape complaint after her former husband tricked her into sleeping with his friend. She claimed that her ex-husband drugged her and took her to his friend's house after losing a bet.

The man, however, claims it was all for Nikah Halala, a Sharia law that requires the divorced woman to marry and consummate with another man before she can remarry her former husband.

A Hindustan Times report says he has a fake nikahnama with the stamp of the Jaipur city qazi, which states his ex-wife and the friend were married.

"The next thing I remember is waking up naked on the floor next to his friend," she said, adding that when she tried to go to the police, her husband threatened her with a footage of the sexual act with his friend.

Nonetheless, she went to the police and filed a rape case against her ex and his friend.

"There was no nikah with the friend. It's a case of rape, not halala," she said.
